we talk of time in terms of currency
a signifier of value, a commodity
time can be borrowed or spent
it can be invested or wasted
a moment can be stolen
counting minutes like pennies
they all add up
we feel the debt
the exponential interest rate
of a precious and finite resource
and speak of death as a reckoning
no wonder that most precious of all
should be called free time

it's april once again, so I'm trying to get my creative mojo back and celebrating dionysia by participating in escapril again. ria and I compiled our own prompt list from a few different ones we found around instagram, picking our favourites. we just landed in germany yesterday and are spending the next almost two weeks with alex ♥
